Lent will start on Ash Wednesday, 6th March, and this is traditionally when churches offer a study course.
This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, the great poem that we recite every communion service which explores what we and virtually all Christians have believed over those centuries.
The Apostles Creed is a shorter version of this which we use at Morning Prayer. To celebrate this anniversary and also to understand more about the basis of our faith, this Lent the Highley and the Brown Clee benefices will work together to look at the creeds.
We will follow a course developed some years ago entitled;
The cost is £4 from Church House Publishing, if anyone wishes to buy a copy of the book, although this is not necessary to follow the course.
For those who wish to join an online group, we will meet on Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm by Zoom, starting on Wednesday 12th March; https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3592851895?pwd=cksyL0t5TlhFUURRenpxMG9yQTVhUT09.
